DHIOUNTABLE BRAKE LINING.

' Application led February,

To all whom. t may concern.'

Be it known that we, Hamm VANnnnHoor and WILLIAM States, residin at San Franciscotin the. county of San rancisco, State of Callforma, have invented a new and useful Demountable Brake Lining, of which the following is a specication, in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

This invention relates to a brake lining, and its object is to provide means whereby a worn-out lining may quickly taken out and a new one put in without dismounting the brake band.

The present invention is an improvement on our dem'ountable brake liningl patent appqlication filed November 20th, 1922, Serial umber 602,222, and an object of the invention is to reduce the cost of construction and make the lining more easy to apply.

Another object of the invention is'to provide means for holding the brake lining securely against movement in its length, without cutting notches in the brake band and thereby saving time and expense in attachin the lining in the first instance.

her objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout, but we are aware that there may be modifications thereof.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a brake band with a half brake lining attached.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of a strip of brake lining riveted to a -metal strip with ears for connecting it to the brake band,

Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, v ig. 4 is a planof a metal clip for holding the brake lining against longitudinal movement,

Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 1,

Fig. 6 is a plan view looking in the direction of the arrows 6 6, and

Fig. 7 is plan of a portion of the metal strip to which the brake lining is riveted.

The numeral 1 indicates a steel brake band as ordinarily used on automobiles.

The brake lining 2 is first riveted to a metal strip 3 which has ear-s 4 and 5 adapted to be bent over the edges of the brake band.

The brake lining may be mounted in two parts, one part of which is shown attached GILLIG, citizens of the United 'Plug demountable 1923. Serial N9. 817,076.

to the brake band in Fig. l or in one complete lining.

To prevent longitudinal of the brake lining, a metal clip 6, is provided, which is adapted to be placed outside the brake band and has notches 7 and 8 into which the ears '4 and 5 are bent to hold the clip in place. cut portions which can be bent up to form tabs 9 and 10.

After the clip is in place a hole is drilled through the clip, the brake band and the metal strip and a rivet 11 is placed whereupon the tabs are bent over the rivet to hold it from dropping out.

Any number of these clips may be used but for each half brake lining two are here shown.

vln actual practice the band 3 is made of a soft metal and is sold attached to the brake band material. When it is to be used the old brake band is removed from the sprin band 1 and the new brake lining is inse in place, the tabs 4 and 5 being bent over the spring brake band 1. Two or more holes are also bored in the spring brake band to receive the rivets 11 to prevent creeping and several of the tabs are bent into and over the clips 6 when a brake band is tov have this material applied thereto. After it has been once applied thereto, it is removed by simply prying up the ears 4 and 5 with a screw driver or chisel and pulling the lining out of place without removing the band from the car, whereupon a new lining can be slipped into placev and the clipvs bent over the spring band 1.

hat we claim is as follows, but modifications may be made in carrying out the invention shown in the drawings and in the above particularly described form thereof withi'n the purview of the invention.

1. A. vehicle brake band comprising a metallic band, a heat resistant material attached to said band, spaced ears projecting from the edges of said band, and adapted to be bent over the edges of brake band, clips on the outside of said brake band, notches in said clips to receive said ears when bent over the edges of said brake band, a hole extending through said clip, said brake band and said metallic band, a loose rivet in said hole. tabs on said clip adapted to be bent over said rivet to hold it in place.

2. A vehicle brake lining band in combination with a brake band, a metallic band,
